Thinking positively.

“It’s really important that you feel good.  Because this feeling good is what goes out as a signal into the universe and starts to attract more of itself to you.  So the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good and that will keep bringing you up higher and higher.”  ~ Joe Vitale; American life coach, teacher, and Law of Attraction author.

---

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, either way you are right.”  ~ Henry Ford; American captain of industry, business magnate–the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and the sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production.

---

Impossible things to accomplish and irrational fears are created by the human mind, and the human mind is tied and under the influence of time and space (thoughts only exist because there is time and space, and vice versa); and time and space, as we all can understand, are not eternal realities, they are constructs which help develop our humanity, but they remain as chains because for as long as time and space exists, for as long as we have a human mind and decaying flesh, as awakened as one can be, there will always exist fear and doubt.  Something which is not an eternal reality brings duality, and duality brings all fear and doubt.

So, allowing your mind to be positive and to desire for the best to come to you without overthinking–because overthinking brings doubt and fear–is to live without resistance, it is to flow with what is, it is to step out of your thoughts, out of your own head and accept whatever comes to you.

 

When you do this, your heart and your positive mindset become powerful magnets in attracting better opportunities and people to you; however, concealing and entertaining negative thinking, confusion, doubt, and the feelings which come with it, make you a repellent for better things and a magnet for what you fear might happen.

 

Obviously it is extremely hard to remain positive and appreciative of life when you have all these pressures daily, but if your life is to get better you must do this and stay patiently with it; therefore, you must be diligent in your new views of a healthier thinking, and bring those thoughts and feelings into your daily behavior as well.

Spiraling With No End.

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” ~ Tony Robbins; American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach.

---

“You control your future, your destiny.  What you think about comes about.  By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands–your own.”  ~ Mark Victor Hansen; American inspirational and motivational speaker, trainer and author.

---

Destiny I kept the repeating question encased in pure gold,
Foolishly I tried to make sense of it as it grew in me;
I felt alone, confused, running lost in the winter cold.
Where was I going…?? What was I to be…??
I heard the cry of sheep and the howl of wolf.
Hadn’t I walked too long…?? Didn’t I deserve more…??
The moon was whispering to me about love
While my wings were broken and I couldn’t soar.
But the whispers were astoundingly sweet in my ear,
And were magically transforming my broken heart;
They spoke about absolute creation without fear,
They spoke about commitment from the start.
The moon told me about her love for the sun,
About the true essence of love between them,
How in spite of the distance they were One,
How their destinies shone together like a gem.
I again heard the cry of sheep, the howl of wolf to be.
I had to choose my destiny and renounce all fear.
The whisper was clear, it answered the question in me:
I created my destiny with the essence of love most dear.

 Spiraling With No End

My days were rainy and sad as I walked onwards to destiny,

Around me minds were conditioned to follow and compare;

The nuisance of their words, the ignorance without empathy,

The money schemes, the greed and jealousy stare.

And there seemed to be no return, as this was life,

And my mind was agitated, pressures to meet expectation;

The doorway was cold, heartless, Spiraling With No End,

Was this my life…??  Was this the lesson…??

The neighbors would rush past my chaotic mornings,

My family would become silent to my treacherous indifference,

My mind was in heavy fog and I couldn’t see the warnings,

Blinded by the Spiraling With No End in illogical defiance;

Was this my destiny as I had become this petty human being…??

Was this what my heart was destined to be, closed and sad…??

But it takes inward communion for the truth to be seen,

I had to stop my thinking and rushing day for myself to be glad.

To be truly awakened to the truth of me and the lies of society,

I need not to be taken by the inhumanity of the popular crowd;

To wallow in madness was every damn day to fall in anxiety,

To be myself now is to love each moment I live, happy and proud.

 

You are the Creator of your own destiny, not the stars, not any philosophy, not other people.  Never allow anyone to tell you differently.

Greater Development

“Life is a moving, breathing thing.  We have to be willing to constantly evolve.  Perfection is constant transformation.” ~ Nia Peeples; American R&B and dance music singer and actress.

---

“The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.” ~ Oprah Winfrey.

---

Are you the same person today that you were last month…??  Have you experienced something new and learned from it…??  Have you analyzed your mistakes or difficult situations of the past and learned wisdom to make better choices and build the best life you can…??

Life tries to teach you something so you can evolve and grow as a human being, so stop whining and train your mind to understand life and whatever you go through; because nothing is random, everything has a purpose, and your only task is to calm your mind in the middle of the storm and find a way to grow and progress.

 

 

Feeling sorry for yourself and remaining lost and confused will not help you in any way, but it will stop you from growth and fill you with contempt and fear.  This is what living life chained to fear itself is, and most people, even though they are good people and they even can be our family and friends, live like this without even realizing it.  The asleep state of the world.

  It is interesting to me how life is constantly helping us to awaken ourselves to these things, helping us evolve because that is the whole purpose of being here, evolving, elevation; however, man has designed this illusion, this fixation with the negative, for this lower man truly believes that life is out to get him, that life has some demons going around wreaking all sorts of havoc.  Of course, these demons are the nonsense of religious thought since the beginning of mental slavery; and these are just ego-centered activity designed out of fear.

But the awakened man, seeing the ignorance ruling the lower mind of the masses, steps out from all this garbage; for he knows that this is the ignorant activity of a mind which is filled by superstition and tradition, so he frees himself, so he looks at life’s challenges and learns wisdom.  So you must be awakened as well then, see life with a wise and positive outlook.  What is the point of living your life in fear of change thinking that you can’t achieve greater progress…??

Patience and faith, persistence and commitment, are very important for the healthier growth.  Don’t just work for what you want but experience the passion in each cell of your body, because this will help you create a greater development of yourself and of your life.

Learn to calm your mind, analyze what happened in your life, and create lessons which can help you evolve and grow stronger; otherwise you will not be able to heal yourself, move on, and create that greater life you want.

To a better life.

“I think if you stop bad habits, and you stop long enough, you develop good habits.”  ~ Jordan Knight; American singer-songwriter and actor.

---

“The key to forming good habits is to make them part of your ‘rituals.’  I have a morning ritual, afternoon ritual, and Sunday ritual.   It’s one way to bundle good habits into regular times that you set aside to prepare yourself for the life you want. Rituals help you form habits.”  ~ Lewis Howes; American author, entrepreneur, former professional Arena League football player, and social media expert.

---

The mind is the seat of all that we do, better put, ‘the seat of all habit;’ and so, most habits are done subconsciously, our minds conditioned since birth, but in order to make those subconscious habits conscious we must self-reflect, inquire within ourselves and watch how we feel and think, analyze our daily behaviors with conscience before doing them.
 

 

In order to create a good and truly happy life, and in order to create a successful and unique one, good thoughts and intentions are not enough; that is to say, good thoughts and intentions are important, but if you do not act on them, if you do not change your behaviors, is because your lazy ego, which does not like to get out of its comfort zone, is still ruling you and your life.

Good daily habits and a strong, healthy mind go hand in hand, and these are the cornerstones upon which all good actions in life are built; and so, you cannot be truly awaken if good habits and a strong, healthy mind do not dictate your behaviors daily.

You cannot be truly awaken just because you have good knowledge and deep thoughts, but these should be carried in your daily habits as well, otherwise they are null, void, an illusion of great and ego-centered activity.

Create good habits by analyzing yourself and your daily steps, understand that this process must be taken seriously in order for real and great change to come your way, and be conscious about each step you take:

 

 The road to being truly great in life must be reality, built facts which speak of your superior and wiser awakening; but a nice thought, a nice belief, deep knowledge, deep conversations, etc., these are not reality, these are not facts.

Thus, actions, real change, good behaviors which build and create, which mold and sculpt you like a masterpiece to make your life a masterpiece as well, yes, this is reality, these are facts you can trust for happiness and success.

Mutual respect.

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter.  Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don’t even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets!  It’s time to put an end to this.  It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.” ~ C. JoyBell C.; American philosopher and inspirational writer.

---

When it comes to true love there must be respect, because true love is indeed a constant celebration of respect and deep connection; and so, respect means freedom to be who you are without being bullied or judged, it means you respect the other person and are yourself respected for how you think and feel.  That is self-love.

How you think and feel must be respected, even if the other person does not agree with you.  You either respect each other or there is no love, and if there is no love to celebrate, then, what is the point of staying in a relationship with no love…??  All relationships should be for your development.

One must develop patience and understanding in any relationship, but not allow oneself to be put down or treated badly; for it is all about self-love all the time, it is about your own individual development.
 

To have self-love, you cannot live in fear of being alone, of ending the relationship and starting a new life where you can be yourself; self-love is freedom to be yourself, it is knowing that you are already whole and that people have nothing to do with how you love yourself.

So, in order to recognize true love in another there must be mutual respect, which is freedom to be yourself and not his/her slave.  And self-love is not fearing change, such is change to fix your life and get rid of relationships that do not serve you.

Innermost.

“No one knows your situation better than you.  Do what’s best for you.  If they can’t love you through it, then they weren’t meant to be in your life.”  ~ Tony Gaskins; American motivational speaker, author and life coach.

---

“Look inside yourself for the answers, you’re the only one who knows what’s best for you.  Everybody else is only guessing.”  ~ Charles De Lint; Canadian short story writer, novelist, poet, and lyricist.

---

Knowledge of self, daily reflection, routine meditation into yourself, is what one needs in order to embrace complete happiness and in order to be content with whatever you do in life.

This is self-love: when you only follow your inner self and take care of that inner self because you realize that you are the most important person you have to worry about, your mental elevation and emotional understanding; and so, from this process of self-love you can now expand love onto others.

 

 But this paramount process of self-love gets interrupted and badly tainted if you allow your focus to be on others, on others’ expectations for you, on others’ opinions and wishes for you, etc. etc. 

No one, not even your loved ones, can tell you exactly what is best for you if you are mature enough to see it for yourself, if you are mature enough to know where you are going and enjoy the path you walk; therefore, it is of the ego to feel victim of the opinions, wishes, expectations of other people, for you must see the reality, that you are the god of your own life, that you are the creator of your own life.

  Never allow guilt, shame, fear, to consume your rationale and affect your emotional understanding of yourself, because you are here on this earth to develop yourself, not to take care of others constantly and be the punching bag for their mental and emotional nonsense.

This may sound harsh to someone that is not well acquainted with self-love, but it is the absolute truth to me; and I live my life based on it.

You are the only one who knows your innermost desires and strengths, so do not let any tricks from your ego or from the ego of others to manipulate you into being less and staying less than what you are and can accomplish.

Do not give in to stress and frustration, but raise above it.

Not the end of the road.

 

“Authenticity is everything!  You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who’s looking back at you.  And you can only do that if you’re being honest with yourself and being a person of high character.  You have an opportunity every single day to write that story of your life.”  ~ Aaron Rodgers; American football quarterback.

---

“I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.”  ~ Sylvester Stallone; American actor and filmmaker.

---

The mind can be a fatalist making challenges seem daunting and mistakes seem like the end of opportunities for progress in life; however, these ways of the mind themselves are challenges, distortions of reality due to a lack of self-discipline, and this is what is needed for us to become stronger and master ourselves.
 

Nothing in this life is given to you, but you create it with your thoughts of inspiration and persistence, never stopping because you make a mistake or you fall.

 

 How can someone learn to understand and appreciate life if that someone gives up because of a bad experience or mistake…??  How can someone really practice true self-love and at the same time stop the expression of his human spirit from pursuing his dreams and goals…??  How can that someone embrace happiness every day if there is neglect to keep going and learning from mistakes…??

You were not meant to just cruise by and admit defeat, put a fake smile and pretend that you love your life as it is.  You must understand that life is not random, life is conscious, much more conscious and wise than the highest human I.Q., and even highest than any Enlightened human heart.  You are the creator of your life all the time; when you are conscious of what you create, you control what you create thus beauty surrounds you; but when you are not conscious of what you create, you are not in control of what you create thus ugliness surround you.

  There is no mistake in life, not even if it is a major crime, that will mark you as garbage or sinful for ever, you have always the power within yourself to change and raise above yourself and what you did; so, your next choice, your current moment will modify it in your mind, you either learn from mistakes and bad experiences or you drown in a dark pool of self-pity and self-destructive thinking. 

Life in its wisdom moves and never stops, and the clock never stops either; therefore, be wise as life itself is wise, mind your time and your thinking, act accordingly and keep going always aiming to be better than yesterday.
